Q: Read u comments on Oct 3,in summary,no big rush to own it as the negatives outweight the positives. In light of the recent events,please provide u updated comments as I am considering to establish a position.HuaWei,(not listed) beat its main competitors,ERIC & NOK in the 5G sector by a wide margin.However USA is pressuring the rest of the world not to use Hua Wei for national security reasons.On 18,rumour that China is exerting pressure on Germany over Hua Wei.On Oct 19,Greenland picks ERIC over Hua Wei.Also ERIC announced that it is teaming up with MSFT for next generation of connected cars On Oct 20,announced that it is increasing its credit facilities to US$150m,of which $98m is to repay existing loan & balance for 5G research. ERIC was doing nicely prior to Oct 19 when it dropped 0.40 to $8.80 from $9.20.On Oct 20,it initially declined but closed unchanged @ $8.80. Its Q results since Q1,2016 were inconsistent .But Q3 reported on Oct 17/19 showed EPS of 0.18, beating estimates by 157.14%.Are there any US firms entering the 5G sector? Looking forward to u usual great views & services .Merry Xmas & All the Best to 2020 to all.

Q: I see eglx has applied to move to the TSE and will interlist on the pink sheets??(not sure here how they plan to gain US exposure) in light of this do you have a current view of the company? thanks Richard

Q: I asked this question twice in the past week, but haven’t received any response. Could you please compare these two ETFs. I have ZWU now and wonder whether it or ZUT is the better long term hold. Thanks!

Q: Good morning,
I currently hold ZWE in my TFSA and I have two questions as follows:

a. Given that there is a witholding tax on ZWE when held in a TFSA, I was wondering if it would not be better to simply sell ZWE and buy it back in my RSP instead. I note that in one of your responses to a similar question, you recommended that ZWE be held in a Non Registered account. Not sure that I understand the rational for this over holding ZWE in an RRSP. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
b. Do you think that it is wise to invest in Europe, UK in particular at this time and if so, would you recommend a change from ZWE to another ETF with a better growth opportunity and if so which one?
Thank you and Merry Christmas to the 5i team.

Q: Which 4 small to mid cap gold producers would you choose that produces less that 1Moz/yr.

Q: Bip.un has been on a bit of freefall the last month-could you comment ?

Q: Dear 5i,
I initially purchased BIP.UN on the Canadian exchange and "journalled" it to BIP on the American exchange because BIP.UN pays a dividend in US dollars.

When BIPC gets created from BIP.UN:
1. will BIPC be traded on the Canadian exchange?
2. will BIPC pay dividends in Canadian dollars?

thanks and season greetings!

Q: When is the next quarterly report for TSGI, and what are the expected numbers compared to the last period? Also, can you provide similar numbers for Flutter and the date expected?
Thank you, and happy holidays to all.

Q: Is January 2nd the first day that it will trade under a new symbol?
If we have BYD.UN, will it will be about a week that we see
it in our accounts. I think it take about a week for the shares to enter our account with
the new symbol?

Q: Hi,
Can you please let me know your opinion on this ? I know this has been beaten down and this may not fit in your investment style. However based on the cash in hand and net assets do you think it's trading less than it's book value , ignoring other factors such as law suits, possible re-instatement of the licence, etc. Thanks
